Dedicated to producing nothing but high-quality craft beer, they create their offerings “by utilizing Tennessee’s agricultural ingredients whenever possible, and using one of the greenest brewing methods in the region.” Known for being culinary-minded and often working with chefs to develop new beer recipes, Tennessee Brew Works has “developed a reputation in food and wine circles as well.” Their popularity has allowed for steady growth, and the brewery currently distributes throughout the state of Tennessee, Kentucky, and now in Alabama.
